that's what I did, I armed track, and read meter with f2 after first resetting the meter with triple f2. it read approx -5 DB, then on playback with track unarmed, meter read approx -17 db. I changed no settings--I just loaded the normal template into a new session of sonar, and began recording after checking input level. I haven't really given much attention to this aspect of sonar(digital audio recording), and I'll have to investigate it a little more with an eye towards this problem.

Phil!When looking at the input level, make sure the feedback you get from JAWS says, "input", and not "output"?I guess you know that you should take the meter level when the track is actually armed?Mike Mike----- Original Message ----- From: "Luis Elorza" <luiselorza@xxxxxxxxx>To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2007 4:18 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: metering discrepanciesmaybe you lowered the volume for that track. the meter shows the output level not your wave file level.----- Original Message ----- From: "Phil Halton" <philhalt@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: "ddots-l" <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 26, 2007 4:43 PM Subject: [ddots-l] metering discrepanciesWhen I check meter levels with an audio track armed, then record on that track, and then check my levels on playback, there is a big discrepancy. For example, I had an input level of around -5 DB with an armed track, then on playback, the meters read around -17 DB. Why the big discrepancy?Is this a sonar thing, or something to do with my hardware?
